London, UK, August 2024: Kwik Fit, the UK’s leading car servicing and repair company, has purchased more than 100 new Mercedes-Benz Sprinters for its Premium Mobile Tyre Fitting service.
The 107 class-leading vehicles will be added to Kwik Fit’s national fleet, to meet the surge in demand for the business’s mobile services from fleet and retail drivers across the UK.
Kwik Fit’s investment decision was driven by the Sprinter’s proven reliability and integrated service package – featuring Europe-wide 24/7 Breakdown and Roadside Assistance – allowing Kwik Fit to maximise uptime to meet customers’ demands.
Supplied by Mercedes-Benz dealership Motus Track & Van, the initial batch of 15 vans was deployed this week to service capacity in high-demand areas across the UK.
The additional 92 are set to be rolled out over the course of this year – with the potential introduction of further vehicles as part of an ongoing replacement model and mutual growth aspirations.
Mark Wellings, Mobile Divisional Director at Kwik Fit, said: "Our objective is to provide a premium, professional mobile tyre fitting service that prioritises convenience and flexibility for customers across the UK, but this can only be achieved if we have enough vans on the road.
“This agreement for over 100 new Mercedes-Benz Sprinters will allow us to meet the increasing demand for our services, reducing downtime across our fleet significantly – thanks to the vans’ well-documented reliability as well as the comprehensive support package included.”
Sarah Palfreyman, Van Sales Director at Mercedes-Benz Vans, said: “It’s been a pleasure to support Kwik Fit in the growth of its mobile tyre fitting fleet with these 100 new state-of-the-art vehicles.
“Kwik Fit’s premium service mirrors values at the core of our own support package, assisting customers 7 days a week to ensure drivers spend as little time as possible waiting to get back on the road.
“For that reason, the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter felt like the perfect choice for the team – and we’re delighted that the vehicles are now being rolled out across the nation for Kwik Fit’s valuable customer base.”
